I don’t think I’ve ever had this big a part in a TV show, where I’m in almost every scene – I was really nervous about it!" I really felt for the character of Katy and took to her from the start. She lives at home with her father, who she adores and her mother, who to start with sounds like a total nightmare. Nothing Katy can say or do makes her mother happy and her mother snipes at her constantly. As a way of escapism, Katy watches the comings and goings of the woman across the street called Gloria. A lot of strange (I don’t mean strange as in they look odd more strange as in never seen in the area before) women seem to come and go from the house. Despite her mother’s sniping and opinionated rants, Katy likes Gloria and has sort of bonded with her. Gloria ran a dress shop, which Katy frequented and they would regularly chat. Katy is understandably horrified when Gloria is murdered and she can’t even begin to comprehend who could do something so evil. As you might imagine her mother thinks otherwise. Katy’s world is turned upside down when her beloved father is arrested and she strives to prove his innocence and hopefully find out the true culprit. Is her father innocent? Who did set the fire? Will Katy’s mother change her ways?

Honestly? This was ruddy awful! I wanted to like it; the blurb sounded compelling. Who is the real Gloria? Why would someone kill her? Why would someone set Katy’s father up? How will she get him released and his name cleared?Shirley says: "Sometimes I’d sit on the pavement between scenes just to get my thoughts together and run the lines in my head. Wondering how to bring to life a character that has lots of emotional scenes is always challenging, but getting to have magic moments with such a brilliant cast and crew made it all worthwhile!" Katherine thought today was going to be a normal day. Reeling from a fight with her husband, she gets her twins dressed for school. The doorbell rings. A man she knows all too well has a gun and is determined to have his voice heard. As the day plays out, we meet the nosey neighbor and delivery man. Both know something is wrong at Katherine's house. The plot keeps you guessing throughout as you are trying to piece together how the storylines are related. I liked how it all came together. The ending felt satisfying with everything resolved. There was one main twist that was interesting and connected the characters together. However, the reveal was missing that “but wait there’s more” aspect that adds layers.
